Firefighters were called to the Jurassic Skyline tower in Weymouth at 4.10pm on Tuesday after the tourist attraction stopped during its descent.

The tower's operator said it came to a halt "due to a mechanical fault" and engineers failed to restart the gondola.

Firefighters ascended the tower to reassure the 11 members of the public and two staff members on board, while emergency workers discussed how to safely evacuate them.

After discarding a number of options "on the grounds of safety due to the inclement weather", a Coastguard helicopter began to winch passengers to safety at 7.30pm.

Footage of the rescue appeared to show that the gondola got stuck around a third of the way down from the top of the tower.
